Chapter 2973

In the end, Zhao Chi was the one who gained the experience.

It seems unfair, but that's how the skill is designed.

Driving skill was originally meant for lords to control undead and other non-sentient beings; the driver manipulates them in battle and movement, so naturally the driver gains the experience.

The same logic applies.

Thus, Qi Yue and Zhuang Ya can only gain very little professional experience and specialization experience.

This results in their professional skills and specializations remaining low.

Asking them to produce things right now would be extremely difficult in practice.

It's not their fault—after all, even Zhao Chi himself couldn't craft new gear well when his skill and specialization were low, even with the gray-word boost.

But their theoretical knowledge is unmatched.

They know every process and step by heart.

When Zhao Chi crafts, they carefully remind him.

That's why Zhao Chi's success rate reaches 98%—they've contributed greatly.

If it were only teaching, they are utterly top-tier.

They might even teach better than Zhao Chi.

Gu Qing nodded: "I also approve of this plan, but I won't rush my promotion—first, let the craftswomen regenerate. After all, Fuyao's current genetic genes are only five points, allowing her to convert only five hundred sisters; letting them regenerate a day earlier means they can produce a batch of gear and apparel a day sooner."

The genetic points given to Fuyao are indeed few.

We'll give her more later.

Tang Ruan said: "If that's the case, my lord, you don't need to visit us every night—spend these days solely with Fuyao, give all your genetic points to her, and convert as many sisters as possible as soon as you can."

Zhao Chi smiled: "How could I not spend time with you? But I can allocate the genetic points to Fuyao—you still need to spend time with me, because even without genetic points, I can still craft."

Tang Ruan paused, then laughed: "Oh right, hehe."

Zhao Chi said: "Then I'll give Qi Yue just one point per day, and give the rest to Fuyao?"

Qi Yue waved her hands frantically: "No need, my lord, I don't need to eat."

Zhao Chi shook his head: "How can that be? Your intake of one genetic point brings clear improvement—this cannot be skipped."

Qi Yue said: "It's fine, my lord. Actually, I only need to sip a little of your blood to maintain my state. Though the bonus is slightly less, this is a special period—one genetic point can regenerate a hundred sisters. It's no problem."

Zhao Chi said: "I'm mainly worried your blood-sipping won't meet your needs."

Qi Yue smiled: "How could that be? My gene is called Blood Craving—it was designed for blood-drinking. Besides, all the Moon Clan sisters drink Feathered Ox blood every day. And as long as you spend just a little time with me, I'll be happy. Besides, you're not just spending time with me—you'll also… you'll also… I'm happy every day."

Zhao Chi thought for a moment and nodded: "Alright, for now I'll give all points to Fuyao, and feed you blood daily."

Qi Yue smiled: "Actually, drinking Feathered Ox blood works too."

Zhao Chi shook his head: "No need for that—doesn't drinking my blood give higher bonuses? Just drink mine."

"Oh, okay~"

Tang Ruan asked: "What use does the Jade Clan have? It seems they can only fight—they don't help production at all?"

Gu Qing smiled: "Actually, we can have the oil-refiners, soap-makers, and other sisters regenerate into the Jade Clan. These professions don't need six arms, nor intense heat, or even fire at all. And these jobs are relatively grueling—becoming Jade Clan makes them happier the harder they work."

"Huh? That's right~" Tang Ruan nodded happily.

Qi Yue said: "Miners, carpenters, and porters can also be converted into Moon Clan—more arms would boost their efficiency too."

Zhao Chi nodded.

Zhuang Ya smiled: "Smelters and chefs can also be reborn as Warm Clan—their flames have plenty of use."

Zhao Chi nodded again.

Gu Qing sighed: "What about the Silk Clan? Besides being healers, what else can they do?"

Su Qin said: "Fishermen and hunters are good—they can use silk threads to fish and hunt, but there don't seem to be any prey left to hunt."

Qi Yue said: "We can convert some builders or porters into Silk Clan—silk has strong adhesive properties, useful in construction, and can quickly bundle and transport supplies."

Gu Qing smiled: "Yes, that's a good suggestion."

Zhao Chi nodded: "It seems all branch clans have their uses. Gu Qing, I'm entrusting this to you—draft the most suitable plan, and handle their conversions going forward."

"No problem!"

Zhao Chi said: "Next is Su Qin's turn."

"Me?" Su Qin looked puzzled.

Zhao Chi smiled: "After all, you're my elf captain—no, I should say, elf commander."

"That's an exaggeration."

"Did you remember what I just said about Eternal Elves?"

"Of course—I remember. These high-intensity elf archers are several times stronger than before. If you have spare capacity to convert elves later, prioritize converting the Gao Jie elf archers—they'll become the top-tier marksmen."

Zhao Chi nodded: "Don't worry, I'll definitely convert some elves. What I want to tell you is—you'll join my combat unit and fight alongside me."

"Really?"

Su Qin's face lit up with delight.

Zhao Chi nodded: "But your squad may need to be temporarily separated."

Su Qin smiled: "That's fine. That's what we agreed before—if you need me, I'll fight with you; if you're idle, I'll lead the squad on missions."

"Good. I also want to discuss future plans with you."

"Mm, go ahead."

Zhao Chi opened Su Qin's information panel.

Mainly personnel and troop numbers.

【Su Qin Personnel Information】

【Soldiers】30000 people

【Standard】 10,000 people

"Elves" 6,000

"Other Races" 4,000

【Slave Soldiers】 20,000 people

"Elves" 10,000 people

"Humans" 10,000 people

【Artisans】 4,000 people

"Elves" 4,000

【Information Complete】

Su Qin's side has a total of about 34,000 people.

Among them are 4,000 artisans of various types, all female elves.

They are mainly to help Su Qin make leather armor, arrows, and so on for use.

Once this recent period passes, they can all be converted into female archers later.

There are 30,000 soldiers, including 10,000 regular troops and 20,000 slave soldiers.

Among the regular troops, 4,000 are soldiers of various other races, including humans, orcs, strong orcs, and so on; most are male.

These 4,000 soldiers need to be replaced and can basically be sold at a low price to Geng Zhan, Yang Xiong, and others.

After all, although these males are strong, they will be completely surpassed once all the female troops are equipped with costumes and female gear later.

However, they will not be replaced for now.

The replacement will be carried out after this battle is finished.

There are also 6,000 regular troops who are all female archers; these are Su Qin's main force.

Besides these, there are 20,000 female slave soldiers.

Due to the effect of the collars, they have all become Su Qin's slave soldiers.

Among them, the 10,000 human females are used as melee infantry, and the 10,000 female elves are also used as archers.

But now there has been another change.

Ordinary human females can wear costumes and female gear, making them far stronger than ordinary soldiers.

However, the female elves can now regenerate into Eternal Elves.

So these women are destined to be completely surpassed by the Zhuding Society.

Since they were converted into slave soldiers only recently and have not yet accumulated much experience, they can be replaced directly.

These human females can be transferred back to Chaoge Town to farm, and 10,000 female elf slave soldiers can be transferred from Chaoge Town to serve as slave soldiers for Su Qin.

Let Su Qin's personnel composition be gradually replaced entirely by female elves.
